Compression Garments?

[ekmw 56]

My questions are:

• Has anyone used a compression garment for tightening the body?
• What garments have you used?
• How soon did you use it?
• Are there good compression garments for upper arms and/or stomach/love handles?

I'll be asking my surgeon this 5th, but I wanted to get input from others.

I have seen a thread about this before but I'm not sure what it is they used. If you search the topic you might find the thread & it may be very helpful for you! Sorry I don't use them or have more info on them for you but I hope you find the answers your looking for!

I ordered a shape wear tank top from jc penneys, I'm just waiting for them to get here. I'm 13 days out, and still wearing my binder, but it's annoying. I'm hoping the tank top will give me enough support. I'll let you know if I like it as soon as I get it.

I haven't used any compression garments for tightening loose skin, but I am a firm (no pun intended) believer in "foundation undergarments". (tanks, panties, etc.) Spanks are great to smooth and shape the lumps and bumps. I don't think I will ever have the money or nerve to seek plastics, so I will be buying stock in the company!

I always use a compression garment of some sort to manage my "Spillage".I liken my my body to a pair of panty hose; once you try on the hose, they never go back to the original shape. Neither will I, and at age 52 , my goal is to manage the saggies and extra skin.

I have many different brands compression garments , but my favorite is Kymaro., from those dorky infomercials. I buy mine at Bed Bath and Beyond and save $ especially when I use the 20% off coupon. They hold their shape well and really do manage the muffin tops and give good support. They are definitely no frills but cost less than Spanx and Flexees. Good luck!

I know there are a lot of different factors that contribute to how skin will be during and after weight loss.

I'm just trying to find possible extra help.
